How does the burning of fossil increase the greenhouse effect?
by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
What is the role of the atmosphere in the carbon cycle?
Nature produces the vast bulk of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Rotting trees, and dead matter produce over 90% of the current levels of carbon dioxide. Man produces between 3 and 6 percent of all CO2 annually.
How does burning affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Burning anything releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, as most things are largely made of carbon. Burning vegetation is really part of the carbon cycle, but burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide that has been sequestered underground for 300 million years. This is why carbon dioxide levels are increasing in the atmosphere.
What is Carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by?
Many things contribute to Carbon dioxide being released. Cars, animals, burning fossil fuels, etc.
What is it called when carbon dioxide is released?
The release of carbon dioxide is called carbon dioxide emissions. This occurs when carbon dioxide gas is released into the atmosphere from various sources such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.
How are people adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere's?
People are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. I believe
What will not increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Not burning carbon compounds.
What process caused the atmosphere's composition to change so much?
Burning fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is building up in the atmosphere.
What gas enters the atmosphere after burning wood or coal?
Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when wood or coal is burned.
Do cars emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.
Do cars release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Yes, cars release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.
Why is there an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
burning fossil fuels
Fill in the blank Burning such as coal or natural gas can increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas can increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
When you burn vegetation how does it affect carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?
Burning vegetation adds to the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. However, that carbon dioxide was recently removed from the air when the plants were growing, so burning vegetation is carbon neutral.Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), of course, releases extra carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for 300 million years.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which increases the concentration of this greenhouse gas. This leads to an enhanced greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the atmosphere and contributing to global warming and climate change.
How does burning trees effects carbon dioxide?
Burning trees not only creates more carbon dioxide because of the smoke released from the burning, but also because trees help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They take in CO2 and release oxygen. The less trees there are, the more CO2 in our atmosphere.
How does the burning of fossil increase the greenhouse effect?
by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
